    2020 Gladiator, 18,000 mile, no modifications, exactly as delivered when new. Death wobble anytime uneven surface or bump encountered on interstate, generally in the 70 mph range. Have to rapidly decelerate below 60 mph to stop wobble. Put on lift, no loose connections, no visible leakage from shocks or stabilizer, no abnormalities in tires, ball joints and tie rod ends tight. All looks like new. Any ideas?

    Best thing for such a new Jeep is the dealer for the 3yr/36k warranty. Probably not safe driving nor worth messing with anything until they discover the issue. 40661AC5-EB09-4F13-AFD5-92725F96CA84.jpg

    That is the plan. I will be making a call to the Service Dept at the dealership in the morning. Has there been any traffic on this forum of other, non-modified Gladiators having this issue?

    Update on death wobble:
    Dealership spent a few hours checking out potential causes of wobble. Nothing found. Made slight adjustment to wheel alignment. Had two wobble events on 30 mile drive to dealership, none on the way home. Time will tell. Fingers crossed.
